LAH LAH's Dec '10 PTR & WDW Trivia Extravaganza! *new 1/2/11*

[LAH LAH]

Hi! I see you will be at POP same time as us! Can't wait

Hello!

Look for my lime green toe nail polish!

I hope you are as excited as we are!

The weather is supposed to be wonderful while we are there (at least what is being posted so far)

 

[Hyonlyf]

Yes, we are!! I will look for you but we don't spend too much time at resort. Look for us we sometimes swim later in the evening, around 7-9pm. My 11 y/o girls are ID twins so hard to miss they'd love to meet your daughter while there.

We put our LGMH on all our bags so we'll be easier to spot. Pretty sure it will be just me and 3 youngest children this trip.

Do you have a list of your park days / ADR ?

 

[LAH LAH]

At this time next Friday we will be driving to the airport!!!!!

​

How many Audio-Animatronics dinosaurs can be found on DINOSAUR?

A. 9
B. 11
C. 19
D. 29

(I am a little sad, because this is one of the few rides I won't be permitted to ride since the back surgery...but I will put my sorrow aside and find the answer. Hee hee hee)

C. 19

There are a total of 19 Audio-Animatronic dinosaurs on the DINOSAUR attraction, which uses a ride system modeled after the Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye attraction at Disneyland Resort in California.

JJ, you were right! Again! You get that elusive two-in-a-row bonus of 5,000 points! I am also giving you 500 for being right!

LL, your post made me really laugh! Closed your eyes? Hahahahaha. That is terribly cute I give you 5,400 for being so darn scared

CC, you were first to send your address for a post card...that earns 3,000 and all those smilies deserves an additional 2,000!

LL: 16,933
JJ: 17,031
CC: 16,668
BE: 1015

I still, still hope BE is doing well!

WOOT WOOT!!! You're less than a week away WOOT WOOT!!!!!

I'm sure you have a to-do list a mile long!!!! Loved your daily plans! You guys are going to have an amazing time!!

I am going to PM you in just a moment with my address!!!

As far as the answer to the trivia, I too am going to go with A!!!! Aladdin!!!!

 

[Curiouser&curiouser!]

Less than a week! Woo-hoo!!

I have no idea what parade was first! Aladdin seems like the right answer, since that is the oldest movie listed there. . . but just to be different, I am going to go with D. Hercules!

 

[LAH LAH]

3 DAYS 3 DAYS 3 DAYS 3 DAYS 3 DAYS 3 DAYS!​

We are super excited!

Ok, down to business!


The Studios' very first parade was based on which animated film?

A. Aladdin
B. Toy Story
C. Mulan
D. Hercules

A. Aladdin

Aladdin's Royal Caravan Parade opened December 1, 1992 and ran until August 27, 1995. Floats included the genie, spitting camels, and of course, Aladdin and Princess Jasmine, who rode in grand style upon an elephant float. What about Jafar and Iago, the villians? They were there, too...at the end...sweeping up after the elephants!

The Toy Story parade ran in 1996 and offered numerous opportunities for guests to meet and get autographs from Buzz, Woody, and a variety of other Toy Story characters. Hercules Zero to Hero Parade meandered through the park twice a day starting on June 27, 1997. It included a number of floats, headed by a lucky "Theban Family of the Day," selected from the crowd. There were also giant balloons and cheerlesders (well, the balloons were giant, not the cheerleaders). The parade closed less than a year later in acticipation of the upcoming Mulan parade, which ran for three years form June 19, 1998. It included characters from the movie, as well as Chinese elements, such as a 150-foot long dragon and performers who represented the Great Wall of China.

Ok, LL and JJ were correct so 1,001 points a piece but CC you knew the answer and decided to go against the flow! I award you 1,002 points!



LL: 17,934
JJ: 18,032
CC: 17,670
BE: 1015

I still, still hope BE is doing well!

About how many times bigger than actual size is the DNA strand in front of the Wonders of Life pavilion?

A. 1 million
B. 100 million
C. 550 million
D. 5.5 billion


(I know they removed the DNA strand in 2007, but Michael picked this one so we'll just go with it!)

 

[Curiouser&curiouser!]

3 days!!! That is NOTHING! You are going to Disney THIS WEEK!


Hmmm. . . . I have never seen the strand. So I am going to have to go with pure guessing here. I am going with B. 100 Million, because at the rate I am going that is how long many days it will be until my next Disney trip!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Yayayayaya!! You are so close to your trip!!



I'm going to go with C. 550 million, I have no idea so it's a guess!

 

[jenjolt]

You are going to Disney this week WOOT WOOT You guys have to be so excited!!! WOOT!!!

I may have to cry fowl on this one only because I know that a strand of DNA may be up to 2 meters long in a human cell and something tells me that nothing Disney built was that long LOL!!!! However ignoring that and assuming they are referring to the DNA found in a fruit fly I'm going to go with A 1 million times larger LOL!! (Sorry we are on the DNA chapter at school right now and I just did all these facts about DNA with my students!!!)

 

[LAH LAH]

WE LEAVE TOMORROW!!!!!!​

​

About how many times bigger than actual size is the DNA strand in front of the Wonders of Life pavilion?

A. 1 million
B. 100 million
C. 550 million
D. 5.5 billion

And the answer is:

D. 5.5 billion

The 72 foot tall double helix DNA tower at the entrance to EPCOT's Wonders of Life Pavilion is 5.5 billion times actuall size. That strand of DNA would be just the right size for a human who stands about 6 million miles tall.

Well, no one got it right. But that is ok!!!!! Because we are going to DISNEY tomorrow!!!!!

So take 10,000 points a piece!

LL: 27,934
JJ: 38,032

BE: 11,015

[jenjolt]

Well I know the answer to this one...it's definitely 1901!!!!!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Lookeeeeeeeeee! I made it back just in time! I gotta go back and read, but wanted to post my answer quick (1901!), and wish you a FANTASTIC AND WONDERFUL trip!!!!!!!

I hope to keep up on the DIS better now that November is over (it was a BUSY month for us!), so hopefully I won't fall drastically behind on your future TR!


ETA: after reading the rest of the report I am going to add some dancing smilies to this in hope for bonus points! LOL!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Adorable!!

And yes, I was still doing well all this time. Just between travels and job hunting and normal life, I hardly DISed. December will be much more chill since we are staying here for Christmas and it's stinkin' cold out, so we are hermits.

Thank you for the 10k bonus points.

I'm so glad I made it back just in time. I truly hope your family has an amazing trip full of magic and wonderful memories! I very much look forward to your TR!

 

[Curiouser&curiouser!]

Definitely B. 1901. No doubt about it!

Your going to DISNEY TOMORROW!!! Oh my gosh!! You are going to have such a great time!!

P.S. Have fun and travel safe. But also be sure to take lots of notes and pictures to come back and share with us!!!
